British Gas owner Centrica has almost DOUBLED its first half yearly profits to £2.1 billion.

The government has allowed energy companies to laugh all the way to the bank.

Energy companies should be brought into public ownership.

“Without ticket offices I would have no way of buying a ticket in the station… I would basically be unable to get anywhere.”

🚨 There are just two days left to make sure your voice is heard on why ticket offices must stay open. Take action now: https://t.co/KiVXizGPLw

This Facebook post from the day before the Brexit Referendum, just gets more and more painful to read, the worse this poverty-crisis gets.

The push to move staff away from ticket offices risks creating new barriers for blind and partially sighted people like Sid.

Modernisation should mean inclusivity, not apps and touchscreens.

"If they shut down the ticket offices all over the country, it'd be horrendous."

As big rail companies try to get rid of ticket offices, Ruber Reuter speaks to people with disabilities to find out how the move could affect their daily travel.

BREAKING NEWS (from FT)
UK Tory govt is set to spend £110bn just on interest payments on our debt this year- about the same as the entire EDUCATION BUDGET.

Our economy has been so badly managed, we are set to have the HIGHEST DEBT INTEREST IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD this year.

The anti-strikes Bill has passed its final stage in the Commons.

Make no mistake: we will fight this pernicious legislation tooth and nail.

We won’t stand by and let workers get sacked for defending their pay and conditions.

And we won’t rest until this Bill has been repealed.

[Lesley Riddoch @LesleyRiddoch]

Excellent interview of Jackie Baillie on two child benefit cap nonsense by @BBCGaryR. She tried to switch focus by suggesting SNP could spend £250k to eliminate cap in Scotland. 'So Scottish Govt must mitigate a UK Labour Government's welfare policies?' Exactly. It's crazy.

Conservative Ministers have BACKTRACKED on new sexual harassment laws.

The Worker Protection Bill no longer includes a new duty on employers to protect their staff from harassment – including from sexual harassment.

They have abandoned working people – again.

Don't think I've ever met a member of the public who "hates" the NHS. They may hate the underfunding from Westminster. Or the effect #Brexit has had on it. They may hate the delays. And the Tory attacks on it. But the NHS itself? It's loved. https://t.co/hE71FWq9nW

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

I said on @GMB today, in reference to new depressing stats on the numbers struggling to pay mortgages and rent, that its going to be a nightmare year for some. I've seen a few references here calling me a "prophet of doom" the same attack phrase used by some last year when I was warning we needed energy intervention, again based on known facts of huge impending price hikes (eventually govt intervened so they 'only' doubled not trebled).

To try to demonise a person explaining the situation and try and knock down anyone warning people to prepare seems a dangerous precedent.

Advance warning, and raising the issue publically, helps both individuals prepare and puts pressure on policy makers to act before it happens, rather than leave it until its too late.

I hope I try and make positive practical suggestions. I won't wear blinkers and a gag to the plight millions are facing.

This is a wonderful statistic from @MhairiBlack More countries have declared independence from the UK than from any state in history. 62. And not one has asked Westminster to take them back. Let's make Scotland number 63. #SNPIndyConvention

[RMT @RMTunion]

Why do so many journalists seek to pit worker against worker?

Presumably because they, and their media-baron handlers, know that if workers are fighting workers they’re not fighting back!
